Do you remember last year when I gathered up some of those pretty

soft colored pumpkins and some of those little white baby pumpkins

and stacked them up in a tray

with just a few sprigs of hydrangea blooms

and white berries?

It was one of those simple stylings that took just about 5 minutes to put together.

Those are the best ones right?
The ones that you can work on in between all that other stuff you do.

Because in between sweeping the floor
washing the slips

picking up after the grand dog
dashing to the store
and baking a delicious homemade apple pie...

you can also add

'create a pumpkin filled crate vignette'
to the accomplishments that day

and cross it off your list.

That is if creating a pumpkin vignette is on your list.

This is one of those seriously simple- anything goes type of an autumn display.
I am not a big fan of rules- but I am a big fan of doing what makes you happy.
SO- I used pale greens, grays and whites for my pumpkins
but if orange has your heart- go for it.

Just gather up an old crate or tray
few favorite pumpkins

in a few sizes

and

fresh greens.

I used eucalyptus branches and green hydrangea blooms but there are a ton of
branches you could use that you could probably find right in your yard.

Start by placing the big pumpkins and then the greens.

I like to let the greens drape out of the box just a bit

and you can layer them so that some of them peek out if you like.

Up next, start tucking in a few of those itty bitty baby boos

here and there
and add a few sprigs of berries for a pop of color.

And then make yourself a pumpkin spice latte coffee with all that fancy leafy heart shape in the milk
and grab a slice of that freshly baked homemade pie

put your feet up
and smile at that gathering of pumpkins

and check
'create a pumpkins in a crate vignette'

right off your to- do list.

Or....maybe more like...
you trip over the dog toy thatyou know he left right.there. to mock you
and spill your coffee - splashing it on the freshly washed slips
and then realize that you were so entranced on making a beautiful mess
with your latest project
that you forgot that there was that apple pie baking away in the oven
and so now instead of yummy vanilla ice cream topped dessert
you have something that more resembles
crispy cardboard.
aye aye aye

But hey-
you got that pumpkins in a crate vignette done
and it looksamazing.
So either way- it is all good.

;)

Happy Monday everyone.
